I'd love to know what you think of this, even if it's just "I like it".  Any feedback is useful.  Thanks for listening! -------------- Twitter: @benbarden Back to top

You know, it really sounds like those 80s synths by Yamaha with FM synthesis.

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: Aug. 15 2006, 18:52 Way too simplistic, and not enough "travel" in the melody to take it with me. I felt I wasn't going anywhere. Almost the sense of a "noodle" on a sunday evening, a melody finding it's way out. Much better work has come from you since 2000, so I'm guessing this is a flashback.

Moz Group: Musicians Posts: 600 Joined: July 2005 Posted: Aug. 15 2006, 19:30 thank you both for the feedback. Based on what I've heard so far, I may develop this piece further.  There's no reason why it has to stay as it is now.  But we shall see! -------------- Twitter: @benbarden Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Aug. 16 2006, 18:40 Apart from the ending, which sounds a bit too sudden and may need some (further?) revision, IMHO it's great. Shame that this board features a "thumb up" icon as a post marker but not as a smiley. However, I think this one works fine for this piece:   -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Moz Group: Musicians Posts: 600 Joined: July 2005 Posted: Aug. 17 2006, 13:15 thanks Ugo.  It is always interesting to have different opinions.  The ending does need work.  I think I could improve the piece without spoiling what's already there... so will most likely keep you all informed of the latest version when it's available. -------------- Twitter: @benbarden Back to top
